Significance Statement of State Significance Camden township, founded by the Macarthur family on Camden Park in 1836 has a strong and special association with its community and invokes a special sense of place that is bound up with people's sense of self and sense of community, their local knowledge, folklore and family connectedness and human experiences over generations. Visitors likewise see it as a different and unique place, one that has retained its original aesthetics and is largely intact although it has experienced continuous social and economic activity through the historical phases of NSW to present times. Interest in who we are, where we have come from and how we learn from our history are fundamentally important in this fast changing world. Camden township is the focus of an inherited, rich narrative from colonial times that helps define our present and inform our future. Camden is unique because of its physical features, landscape setting, its cohesive community and its long and important history in the foundation of NSW and Australia. Camden's heritage, historic environment and location distinguish it, enrich its character and influence how people identify and connect with it. Camden's sense of place is evidenced by features which are esteemed by the community for their cultural values and that contribute to the community’s sense of identity such as the river landscape and its remnant endangered vegetation, the human scale village townscape set within the floodplain and its abrupt interface with rural surrounds as well heritage buildings, wide leafy streets, Macarthur Park, the iconic socially significant St John's church, the town farm, sale yards and rural outlets, Camden Museum, library, schools and a great many community and social organisations that have existed over generations. Events such as the Camden Show, Light Up Camden and commemorations of the historic relations of our defence forces with Camden are part of the cultural fabric of the town's community. The present esteem in which Camden is held and its special heritage qualities demand a careful balance between necessary development and the perpetuation of the town's unique and treasured historical character. Camden's heritage story begins with the land near the Nepean River being particularly fertile and productive and which prior to European settlement was an excellent source of food and a meeting place for Aboriginal peoples. The escaped cattle from the First Fleet settlement in 1788 found their way to Camden, on the Nepean River and stayed, indicating by their preference that "the Cowpastures" was possibly the best land yet found in the colony. John Macarthur, an officer in the NSW Corps, in particular saw its potential. But the Governors, in order to maintain a food source for the struggling colony, decreed that settlement on the Cowpastures beyond the boundary of the Nepean River was prohibited to protect the wild cattle. Being exiled to England in 1801 after a duel John Macarthur took wool samples from his experimental flock in Parramatta and successfully lobbied the Colonial Secretary, Lord Camden, for a large land grant to pursue his entrepreneurial work in producing fine wool to meet high British demand, particularly due to the Napoleonic wars. John Macarthur took up 5000 acres in the Cowpastures in 1805 and built a slab hut, the first European dwelling west of the Nepean. Other large land grants followed on the east side of the river and a rural hegemony of landed gentry estates using convict labour developed, producing the Loudon style landscape still apparent around Camden Residents' Action Group Inc | Camden Heritage Study April 2016 5 Camden today. Conflict with the Aboriginal people, the traditional owners, was caused by encroachment on their lands and food sources, culminating in the Appin massacre of 1816. John Macarthur was exiled to England again due his part in the Rum Rebellion 1809 and returned in 1817 with many vine cuttings from Europe. The Macarthur family were instrumental and influential in the development of Australia’s agricultural, pastoral, horticultural and viticultural industries. John and Elizabeth Macarthur and their sons developed Camden Park (Belgenny Farm and Camden Park Estate), which forms the oldest, intact, rural landscape

  • The Laird of Shoalhaven
    lllawarra Historical Society Bulletin April, 1980 13 THE LAIRD OF SHOALHAVEN: Miss Rachel Roxburgh, the speaker at our February meeting, is well known to most of our members, either personally or by reputa­ tion, particularly for her work on the National Trust. Her subject was "The Berry Estate at Coolangatta." Alexander Berry, born in Fife in 1781 , studied medicine at St. Andrews and Edinburgh, and became a surgeon in the East India Company's service. After three voyages to the East he left the service and medicine, partly, it is said, because he disliked the flog­ ging of seamen, partly because he saw greater opportunities in trading. Over the next few years he made several trading voyages, in the course of which he visited Van Diemen's Land , New South Wales and New Zealand, where he rescued the survivors of the Boyd massacre (including Betsy Broughton, afterwards Mrs. Charles Throsby of Throsby Park). Deciding to settle in New South Wales, Berry and his brother-in­ law Edward Wollstonecraft established a mercantile business in Sydney, and obtained from Governor Brisbane a promise of a grant of 10,000 acres on condition of taking and maintaining 100 convicts. They selected a site on the Shoalhaven. Wollstonecraft died not long after the qrant issued; but Berry expanded his estates by further grants and purchases till Coolangatta ultimately became the capital of a principality of more than 40,000 acres. He established on Brough­ ton Creek a private town, which now bears his name. To give his domain reliable communication with Sydney, he had a canal cut between the Shoalhaven River and Crookhaven, enabling ships to bypass the perilous bar at the river-mouth.

Our aim is to submit a paper outlining what we know to be key assets of the area between Menangle and Douglas Park bordered by the Nepean River to the East and West of the Hume Highway, also including lands North of Menangle Village. We have a high concentration of environmental, historical and cultural assets and our Vision has been developed to capitalize on these assets. We would like to point out that we are not experts in planning but have relied on previous planning documents, reports by the National Parks and Wildlife Association, Government Departments and local knowledge. We would also like to highlight the fact the Macarthur South Paper of 1991, whilst it can be said to be dated, is actually the most comprehensive study on this area to date, taking into consideration all facets of planning. More recent studies tend to be fairly broad in nature, lacking detail, focusing on only one or two pressing issues of the day. We believe that we are very fortunate as a community to live in such a beautiful and interesting area and are very keen for Wollondilly Council to understand the special lifestyle this landscape affords us.

  • Rachel Perkins
    Keynote address / Rachel Perkins I thought I would talk today about a project called First Australians, which is a documentary project. We are still in the midst of it. When I talk to people about it, like taxi drivers, they ask “What do you do?” and I say I make films. They say, “What are you working on?” and I say, “I’m working on this documentary series called First Australians” and they go “Oh great, it is about the migrant community coming to Australia” and I say, “No, no! It is actually about the first Australians, Indigenous Australians. So, we are still grappling with the title and whether it is going to be too confusing for people to grasp. But the name First Australians sort of makes the point of it trying to claim the space as Australia’s first people. If anyone has any better suggestions, come up to me at the end of the session! First Australians. It is probably the most challenging project that I’ve worked on to date. It is the largest documentary series to be undertaken in Australia. It is being made by a group of Indigenous Australians under the umbrella of Blackfella Films, which is our company. It has a national perspective and it is really the history of colonisation, which is a big part of our story. It charts the period from the 1780s through to 1993. It began in 2002 when Nigel Milan, who was the then General Manager of SBS, approached me. They had shown a series on SBS called 500 Nations, which is a series on Native American people.

  • 1. Draft State Heritage Register Nomination Form 2. Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf Heritage Assessment 3
    ITEM CiS11 REPORTS 14/06/16 NORTH SYDNEY COUNCIL REPORTS Report to General Manager Attachments: 1. Draft State heritage Register Nomination Form 2. Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf Heritage Assessment 3. Coal Loader Structural Report ___________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf - Nomination on the State Heritage Register and Application for an Interim Heritage Order AUTHOR: Stephen Beattie, Manager Development Services ENDORSED BY: Joseph Hill Director City Strategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report has been prepared in response to recent correspondence from the RMS indicating their intention to demolish the Balls Head Coal Loader Wharf in its entirety, due to safety risks posed by the deteriorating structure. The RMS is currently preparing a Review of Environmental Factors for the full removal of the wharf. The Coal Loader Wharf is currently listed as a heritage item within NSLEP 2013.However, the Coal Loader Wharf was assessed as having heritage significance at State level in the Waverton Peninsular Industrial Sites Conservation Management Plan 2000. This matter was extensively discussed in the Report of David Banbury, Landscape Architect which was considered by Council at its December 2015 meeting. The Office of Environment and Heritage advised Council, in a letter dated 27 January 2016, that if a detailed study of the subject item concludes that it may be of state significance, consideration should be given to its nomination on the State Heritage Register. In light of the current RMS proposal to demolish the wharf in its entirety, it is now considered appropriate that the nomination for listing on the State Heritage Register be expedited, in order to ensure the best possible conservation outcome for the Wharf.
